OREANDA-NEWS.   Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) today unveiled its newest Southwest Porch in conjunction with a partnership with Klyde Warren Park. Southwest Airlines created a fun, branded location in front of the Relish food window on the corner of Olive and the westbound side of Woodall Rogers.

"Southwest Airlines is Dallas' hometown airline, and we invest in all the communities we serve. Klyde Warren Park is one of the most popular outdoor locations in the city and creating a long-term partnership with this iconic location in Dallas was important for Southwest," said Kevin Krone, Southwest Airlines Chief Marketing Officer.  "This year is a big one for Southwest and Dallas—we have great things planned and are ready to celebrate with the community."

"We are thrilled to have Southwest Airlines as a Klyde Warren Park partner and to offer our park patrons a new fantastic amenity," said Tara Green, Klyde Warren Park President. "The Southwest Porch enhances the experience at Relish, with its fresh design, unique seating options and a comfortable lounge area. The Porch is unlike anything else we have, and we are excited that this partnership has created a new area to bring even more programs and events to the park."

Southwest celebrated the opening of the Southwest Porch today with local community partners and representatives from Southwest and Klyde Warren Park. The Porch is an extension of Relish, which serves quick to-go fare, including signature relish burgers and hotdogs, a variety of French fries and hot beignets for breakfast. Relish is open Monday through Sunday, from 11 a.m.—8p.m.  Guests will be able to enjoy the sounds and sights of the park from the Southwest Porch, as well as free Wi-Fi.

Southwest Airlines created its first Southwest Porch in New York City's Bryant Park in 2009.  With the success of that Porch, the airline extended the program to other cities like Denver and Atlanta.  Engaging in the communities and connecting people to what's important in their lives has always been a priority for Southwest Airlines. The Southwest Porch creates an opportunity for Southwest to take its legendary Customer Service into the community and give folks the flavor of the brand—outside the aircraft.
